Release Notes

The theme of this update is more improvements for explorers!

Navigation Panel

  • There are new and updated icons in the System List view. The lander icon is no longer shown on the right hand side for landable bodies, instead it's incorporated into the icon for the planet on the left hand side. This was done to free up space in the UI and is bit more like how the in-game Navigation panel works, though ICARUS Terminal also indicates in the same icon if the planet has an atmosphere. The separate icon for bodies with atmosphere is still displayed for now, to make those bodies still stand out, at least while folks get used to the new view. The credits icon used to indicate high value bodies also got a small revamp.
  • System Information in the System Map now displays the number of all potentially interesting / high value bodies when exploring in uninhabited space (in addition to biological, geological and human signal sources)
  • System Information in the System Map now reports at least 1 Geological Signal for each body where geological activity has been detected with an FFS scan even if the body has not been surface scanned and we don't know exactly how many different geological signal types there are yet (so, you should see geological signal sources after doing an FSS, however the total number of them may go up as you perform Surface Scans if a body has multiple different types of geological activity on the surface).
  • The text for the system scan status in the System Map has been updated to be more accurately worded and to improve the visual appearance to make different states more obvious (the states being: no local scan data / partial data in ESDM / fully mapped in ESDM).
  • Tapping or clicking the system scan in the bottom right of the System Map view will cause the icon and status text to pulse and will fetch the latest data from ESDM (i.e. force update the cache). Explorers will probably most appreciate this; you can just "tap the screen" to make it read correctly (like you might with a physical device when it's misbehaving!) to get around that there is small lag between scanning a system and it updating in ESDM, that might cause your scanning status to often get stuck at ~95% (which previously was only resolvable by honking or performing some other sort of scan).
  • The text "Frame Shift Drive Active" is no longer displayed while jumping (or, sometimes after jumping into an unexplored system). Instead no location information is displayed while jumping, or while in an unknown location in an unexplored system.

Ship Panel

  • The "True North" directional heading indicator on the Planetary Navigation dial now has a shape that resembles the directional heading indicator used while on foot in Odyssey (i.e. it's now an isosceles trapezoid instead of a triangle).
  • The directional heading indicator on the Planetary Navigation dial should no longer "shimmer" in some instances. This was triggered by a browser engine rendering bug in Chromium, the pulsing glow that on the Planetary Navigation dial is now a steady glow to resolve this.
